The Granite Canyon Trail is a 8.2miles long hiking trail in Grand Teton National Park in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The trail begins at the Granite Canyon trailhead on the Moose-Wilson Road, about north of Teton Village and ends at the junction with the Teton Crest Trail near Marion Lake.[1] The trail follows the length of Granite Canyon. Just over a mile before the junction with the Teton Crest Trail, the Open Canyon Trail intercepts this trail from the north.[2] An alternative route is to take the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort ski lift to the top of Rendezvous Mountain and descend 3miles down the Rendezvous Mountain Trail to junction with the Granite Canyon Trail, a distance of 12miles and mostly downhill.[3] There are three different camping zones in the canyon which are available by permit.[4]
